There is not a little reasonable dissatisfaction felt over the way in which the sophomore crews are rowing at present. The men are decidedly green and there is an apparent disinterestedness in the work. Their principal fault is a lack of snap and their present sleepiness is hardly encouraging. Blake, Thompson and Captain Loring are the only members of last year's crew who are now rowing with the sophomore crews. Five '94 men, Williams, Saltonstall, Bond, Waters and Johnson are training with the 'varsity...
...should go by the board. The wrestling events can be dropped with advantage. The number of men who are interested in this branch of athletics is not large, and the bouts are always stupid and tiresome. The spectators, as well as the athletes, like events that go with more snap. The fencing and broadswords contests of last year were new and interesting. The executive committee of the II. A.

Practice on "dead" water, such as that in a canal is sure to make a crew lack all snap and life, and this has been the trouble with almost all Princeton's crews in the past. No one could ask for a better place than a canal on which to develop a crew's form, but no one could find worse water on which to train a crew...
Harvard played the first half with a deal of snap and twice seemed in a fair way to score. But the Yale team tackled strongly and stopped Harvard's attempts at rushing. Harvard's defensive play was strong when she was directly under the shadow of her own goal posts. At other times it was careless; and twice Dyer susceeded in dodging through the whole team for rushes of 35 and 20 yards respectively. On each occasion he scored. The other two touch downs were made by Graham who scored when Harvard's weak play behind the line gave...
...they ought to make an excellent showing against Yale. Their record of games won during the past season does not appear to be brilliant, but they have shown steady improvement, and are now doing creditable work with some team play. The great trouble is the lack of snap and the slowness which the rush-line show, and the fumbling of the backs...
